For BRT to really be successful, it must be perceived and treated as a form or Rapid Transit - like a subway, not just a bus.

Successful BRT needs: -Dedicated lane ways. -STATIONS (not just some bus stop, a real station. remember this is rapid transit, it should be treated like a subway station). -Advanced fare collection at the stations. -Fast methods of boarding/disembarking buses.

It is interesting to note that so called rapid bus lines in Metro Vancouver has none of these.
